St. John the Baptist Episcopal Church, on the grounds of the Oregon Episcopal School, held a full-blown Jubilee Sunday. Display table, use of many of the worship resources, a chance for me to preach, and a forum discussion following. There was also use of bulletin inserts from the Episcopal Church detailing aspects of the Millennium Development Goals.
This was the third year, I think, of raising the subject of Jubilee with the congregation. This year there was a strong response to bring the congregation membership issue to the next vestry (council) meeting. An announcement in the Oregonian led to a couple of new visitors. And a new
member stepped forward to be our parish contact person.
I am thankful for the support from parish leaders and what clearly seems to be the Spirit moving at St John's!
